Equipment Engineer

Equipment Engineer (Electronics / Industrial Automation)

Location: Eindhoven, NL

About the Role

As an Equipment Engineer (Electronics / Industrial Automation), you will join multidisciplinary project teams to develop cutting-edge production equipment for advanced high-tech modules. You will work with technologies such as high voltage, high vacuum, nano-ampere measurements, thin-film deposition, precision positioning, high-frequency soldering, (laser) welding, and industrial automation.

You will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders—including Process Engineering, Maintenance, R&D, and Operations—as well as external specialist partners supporting the development of new machine concepts. Depending on your experience, you may take on, or grow into, a project leadership position.

Around 25% of your time will be spent supporting production, troubleshooting equipment and process issues. A key part of the role is contributing to a data-driven, connected manufacturing environment (Factory 4.0).

Responsibilities

• Develop and improve high-tech production equipment.
• Work on electronics, machine control, and industrial automation.
• Translate technical requirements into equipment concepts and designs.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external suppliers.
• Troubleshoot production and process issues (approx. 25%).
• Contribute to Factory 4.0 initiatives (data acquisition, process integration).
• Grow into a project leadership role depending on experience.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s (HBO) or Master’s (TU) degree in Electronics or Industrial Automation.
• Preferably several years of relevant engineering experience.
• Experience with tools such as electronics simulation, PLC, LabVIEW, data acquisition, and data analysis.
• Analytical, pragmatic, and able to work both independently and collaboratively.
• Customer-focused, quality-conscious, and strong communication skills.
• Experience with analog electronics and/or high voltage is a strong plus.
